4.0 out of 5 starsExciting story with historical figures
By michael a. draper VINE VOICE on January 26, 2014
Format: Paperback
This is a thriller that includes the characters of J.R.R. Tolkien and Ian Fleming.

They are in Germany in 1938 and witness the oppression against the Jews. Fleming is a reporter for "Reuters" while Tolkien is a professor of Nordic studies at Oxford and the recent author of "The Hobbit."

There is an elderly, retired professor from Oxford who is in possession of a device that could be used as a weapon and one that Henrich Himmler wants. From the opening lines of the story the reader is brought in to the suspense and intrigue taking place in Germany. As a reporter, Fleming is able to question German authorities and see what is happening and then analyze his findings.

The authors work well together. It's impossible to tell where one stopped and the other took over. There is also the fun of "The Hobbit" where the men are aided by a number of ageless dwarfs that are trying to keep the secret device from the Germans since it would make them even more powerful. As in "The Lord of the Rings" the professor must travel into a secret cave and be the one to destroy this device himself.

As in "The Hobbit," the reader experiences the power of the dwarfs and the magic of the device that could prolong life.

The characters are well portrayed and the plot moves swiftly with an interesting side story of Fleming and the professor's daughter's romance.

I enjoyed the story and characters and found it fun to follow their activities. "No Dawn for Men" is an easy read that I could see being made into film.

4.0 out of 5 starsAwesome!
By A Book Vacation on November 27, 2013
Format: Paperback
It took me a little while to warm up to this novel, and I’m not 100% sure why. In all honestly, I don’t feel like it’s written in any different fashion than LePore’s other novels, and I’ve always been able to jump right into those. But this time, it took me a little while to wrap my head around everything that was going on in this novel, and I actually put it aside for a few days thinking I might just not have been in the right mood. That seems to have done the trick, because when I picked it up again, I was able to glide right into the story, which is awesome, might I add, and the story flowed seamlessly together, which is what I’ve come to expect from a LePore novel.

Though it took me a little while, I really enjoyed this novel and once I was able to begin making connections between the story and The Lord of the Rings series, I was in heaven. I was a little curious about how much of the novel was based on fact and how much on fiction though, because it’s quite obvious that some is fiction, but other elements made me wonder, so I asked James LePore himself. And this is his awesome response:

“The book is a mix of the real and the fictional. Tolkien was in Berlin in 1938 to talk to a German publishing company about publishing The Hobbit in Germany. The book actually was believed by many ardent Nazis to support their ideology. He turned them down when they asked him to sign an oath saying he was not a Jew. He wrote them a famous letter which you can see here. This letter, when I first came across it, was one of the inspirations for the novel."

"Fleming was a Reuters correspondent in the thirties covering events in pre-war Europe.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsa guilty pleasure for this Tolkien fan
By Jane Easterly on October 16, 2014
Format: Paperback
Reading No Dawn for Men was a guilty pleasure, because I have to think J.R.R. Tolkien would have hated it. Let me explain: in 1938 Germany, Tolkien and James Bond author Ian Fleming join forces to prevent the Nazis from gaining control of an ancient artifact that would allow armies of the dead to be brought back to life. They form a “fellowship” to return the artifact to a certain location where it can be destroyed by fire. They meet dwarves (with beards and murderous skill with axes) and beautiful, tall, beardless youths who have a way with nature and provide them with “honey wafers” that keeps them on their feet for days. They meet and are aided by a mysterious "ranger."

Fleming also is threatened with torture in a bottomless chair and falls in love with a woman who may or may not be trustworthy.

Tolkien is in Germany to talk to the Germans about translating The Hobbit into German; Fleming is ostensibly there as a reporter, but he is in fact a spy. Although the premise is ridiculous, I still thrilled at all the references to the Lord of the Rings. (For example, the person with the artifact says, "The parchment and the figurine must be destroyed together. If they are not, there will soon be no more dawns for Berlin, no more dawns for men." (p. 68))

I’m not a Bond fan and I’m sure I missed many of those references. The narrative is definitely more Bond than Middle-earth. The styles of the two authors are quite different and the language felt quite forced at times, the two styles almost clashing.

This is not a great book. It could have used some editing. (For example: "In a few minutes they uncovered a dark, anvil-shaped stone as high as Shroeder's waste [sic]." (p. 241)) It’s hard for me to imagine that someone who is not a big fan of either Fleming or Tolkien would get anything out of this book. But if you are a Tolkien fan, you might find yourself, like me, enjoying the Lord of the Rings reminders. Guiltily.
